How come you get the hiccups when you get drunk?
There are many things that cause hiccups. Excessive alcohol is one of them. The hiccups that come on when you are drunk are often forceful, persistent, and can be painful. The medical term for persistent or problem hiccups is singultus. They are involuntary and uncontrollable contractions of the diaphragm. ChaCha!

About Hiccups
Hiccups are often funny to those who don't have them, but when the persist they can be difficult to endure. Hiccups are generally not a medical emergency, their cause is mysterious, and there are a million 'cures' out there. But most of the time they go away on their own.
